Revival meetings have been held for
some time past in the Methodist Church
in Sweetzer, Ind, of which the Rev.
George Howard is the pastor 1t would
seem that the effects have not been as
lasting as they should be- A few nights
ago some of the young folks created a
slight disturbance and the muscular pas
TOR threw them out bodily. James F.
Smith. one of the disturbers, had the
nastor arrested and fined for assault, and,
in retaliation, the pastor had young
Smiths father arrested for profane swear
;nq Then Mr.. Howard was arrested for
allowing the church doors to swing in
instead of out, as the State law provides,
and the pastor promises to make things
verv lively for his prosecutors, The whole
con munity is intensely interested and has
tagen sides for or against the minister.

Sleep Necessary.

The present epoch is one which the
mind of man seems to turn to the per-
formance of impossibilities, or what have
been regarded as impossibilities. Explor-
ers seek to penetrate the North Pole, and
mountain climbers to scale the highest
peak of the Himalayas. Captain Webb
losses his life in seeking to swim the Nj
agara Rapids. DR.. Tanner goes forty
DAYS, and an Italian fifty days, without
food.
The latest attempt of doing something
that nobody else has ever done, is that
of an Italian named Rouzani, who essayed
to 90 three weeks without sleeping, but
was speedily convicted of using decep-
ton in making people believe that he got
along without sleep.
Whatever feats of endurance men may
accomplish, they cannot live long with
out sleeping. The victims Of the Chi
nese waking torture seldom survive more
than ten days. These unfortunate men
are given all they wish to eat and drink,
but when they close their eyes they are
pierced with spears and awakened. There
is no torture more horrible.
Men sleep under almost all conditions
of bodily and mental suffering, however
Men condemned to death-even those
who fear their fate-generally sleep the
night before their execution. Soldiers
sleep lying upon sharp rocks, and even
while on the march.
No one knows just what sleep is. The
prevailing theory as to its nature IS that
of the Psychologist Preyer, who holds
that refuse matter accumulates In the
nervous centres in such quantity as to
bring about insensibility, which IS sleep,
and which continues until the brain has
been relieved of this waste matter by It's
absorption into the circulation. BY way
of contrast to the cases of those who seek
to do without sleep, or are often unable
to obtain it, a case is recorded by Dr. phlp-
son in which young man slept thirty-
two hours without waking. = YOUTHS

There is an aesthetic street car con-
ductor of Philadelphia who for the past
two years has spent much of his spare
time in making his car beautiful. Two
handsome silk flags adorn the centre of
the car, and the bell rope is jauntily
sined with knots of brightly colored
worsted. He takes great pride in this
work. The attendants at the stables say
he scrubs and airs his car with all the
care of housekeeper. A sponge is
always to be seen in the car. No man on
the line keeps his temper better in time
of blockade.

Italy is having so much trouble in Abys-
synia, where Rasalula recently destroyed
nearly the entire Italian force in that
country, that the Chamber of Deputies
have approved credit to lay cable to
Massowah from the Islands of Perrin,
which will connect with the Red Sea
cable and establish communication with
Rome. And only little more than
twenty years ago the interior of Abyssynia
was almost an unknown country, though
England has had representatives at Mas

The Emperor of Russias dentist must
enjoy practicing his science upon the i'm

two gendarmes keep loaded pistols point
ed at his head, and the Lord Chamber

whisk off his hand if it touches the Cars

former American resident In st. Peters
burg relates to his friends in Boston.
Some one has thrown cold water on this
gossip by affirming that the autocrat has
the finest teeth in Europe, and no den
fist has ever meddled with them.

The carrier-pigeon service of Paris is
almost as completely organized as is the
telegraph system, for missives can be sent
by the winged messengers to neighboring
forts and towns, and even to distant
places in the provinces The staff num-
bers $500 trained birds. The Parisians,
during the terrible days of the last siege,
learned the value of the pigeon post, and
the lesson has not been forgotten.

Beauty and the Poet.

Mrs Langtry tells that when she first
appeared on the stage Joaquin Miller
wrote poem in her honor, entitled ''The
Lily" Shortly after it appeared in print
the author approached Mrs. Langtry at a
large reception, and, after paying his re-
spects, bowed himself backward out of
the room, and, as he retreated, strewed
rose leaves, which he had crammed in
his trowsers pockets, on the floor Mr..
Miller at that time was member of the
Rosetti Circle, of which Whistler, Burns,
Jones and Swinburne were also members.
At that time Miller appeared in public in
a red flannel shirt and top boots.

The most novel advertising scheme
heard of lately was recently adopted by a
merchant in Carthage, Illinois. A series
OF prodigious boot tracks were painted,
leading from each side of the public
square to his establishment. The scheme,
ut is said, worked to perfection, for
everybody seemed curious enough to fol-
low the tracks to their destination.
